Pain in chest while walking
I have recently gone through TMT which says mildly positive due to horizontal st depression upto 2mm in lead II,III, avf, v4-v6, normalising within 15 seconds of recovery period. My echo is normal, I'm slim, no smoking or alcohol, no early CAD family history, my lipid profile is ldl-101, tg-139, hdl,33, total-157. I lead a sedentary life style and have recently developed pinpointing chest, shoulders and upper abdomen pain/pressure. When ever I brisk walk, it comes intermittently and is well localised that can be easily be pointed out. Additionally, I'm dealing with anxiety from last 4 years so face breathing issues on and off while at rest or otherwise too. My question, is it possible to have CAD at this age with no risk factors? Or the pain I feel could only be due to anxiety? To add, i had stressecho in nov 2017, june 2015 which was negative. Tmt in 2016 too that had more or less similar values however it was said to be negative at that point in time. Please help!
